Authors: Żełaniec, Wojciech
Abstract: After some introductory remarks on constitutive rules I proceed to one problem still insufficiently
handled in the constitutive rules research: that of how coordinate the definitional
exigence that constitutive rules should define new (types of ) activities and, on the other
hand, the claim that constitutive rules should be a disjoint class with that of regulative or
prescriptive rules. I analyse briefly several examples, such as promises or interest-charging,
or ‘sprezzatura’, and set out a number of problems and complexities inherent in these examples.
Yet I also indicate commonalities shared by all of them.Short of offering a solution,
I put forward the hypothesis that constitutive rules may in some cases be in rerum natura
bound up with prescriptive norms and can be divided from them only in virtue of a theoretical
analysis.

Authors: Morfino, Vittorio
Abstract: The book of Steven Nadler, The Best of all possible World. A Story of Philosophers, God and
Evil gives an account of the philosophical discussions among Leibniz, Malebranche and Arnauld
about the freedom of God and the problem of evil. Starting from an imaginary encounter
of the three philosopher in Paris, Nadler reconstructs the complex web of intellectual
relations between Leibniz and Malebranche about the Theodicy, between Malebranche
and Arnauld about the Treatise on the nature and grace, and between Leibniz and Arnauld
about the Discourse of metaphysics. From this reconstruction emerges a sketch of the controversy
in which Leibniz’s and Malebranche’s conceptions of God are characterized by the
primacy of the intellect over will, whereas Arnauld’s conception of God, according to Descartes’
perspective, states the absolute freedom of God’s will. According to Nadler, Arnauld’s
battle against Malebranch’s and Leibniz’s rationalist conception of God is subterraneously
guided by his feeling of great proximity between these conceptions and the position
about God expressed by Spinoza in the Ethics: a God without will and understanding, a
power that simply produces the world in a necessary, meaningless way.

Authors: de Mori, Barbara
Abstract: The paper is devoted to a re-examination of the issue of the Human-Animal boundary in
the light of the idea that the boundary has been renegotiated every time humans has perceived
a challenge to their supremacy in the hierarchy of beings. By making reference to
the Darwinian framework and also to the reflections developed by the philosopher and anthropologist
Raymond Corbey in his book The Methaphysics of Apes. Negotiating the Animal-Human Boundary, the paper invites to focus the attention to the necessity of reestablishing
some balance between humans and animals by doing reference to the quality of
life of all living beings.
